§ 66264.1034. Test Methods and Procedures.
(C) each performance test shall consist of three separate runs; each run conducted for at least one hour under the conditions that exist when the hazardous waste management unit is operating at the highest load or capacity level reasonably expected to occur. For the purpose of determining total organic compound concentrations and mass flow rates, the average of results of all runs shall apply. The average shall be computed on a time-weighted basis;
n |
Eh = Qsd { Σ Ci MWi } [0.0416] [10-6 ] |
i=1 |
where:
Eh = | Total organic mass flow rate, kg/h; |
Qsd = | Volumetric flow rate of gases entering or exiting control device, as determined by Method 2, dry standard m3 /h; |
n = | Number of organic compounds in the vent gas; |
Ci = | Organic concentration in ppm, dry basis, of compound i in the vent gas, as determined by Method 18; |
MWi = | Molecular weight of organic compound i in the vent gas, kg/kg-mol; |
0.0416= | Conversion factor for molar volume, kg-mol/m3 (at 293 K and 760 mm Hg); |
10-6 = | Conversion from ppm, ppm-1. |
EA = (Eh) (H)
where:
EA = | Total organic mass emission rate, kg/y; |
Eh = | Total organic mass flow rate for the process vent, kg/h; |
H = | Total annual hours of operations for the affected unit, h. |
(F) total organic emissions from all affected process vents at the facility shall be determined by summing the hourly total organic mass emission rates (Eh as determined in subsection (c)(1)(D) of this section) and by summing the annual total organic mass emission rates (EA, as determined in subsection (c)(1)(E) of this section) for all affected process vents at the facility.
(4) For the purpose of making compliance determinations, the time-weighted average of the results of the three runs shall apply. In the event that a sample is accidentally lost or conditions occur in which one of the three runs must be discontinued because of forced shutdown, failure of an irreplaceable portion of the sample train, extreme meteorological conditions, or other circumstances beyond the owner's or operator's control, compliance may, upon the Department's written approval, be determined using the average of the results of the two other runs.
(d) To show that a process vent associated with a hazardous waste distillation, fractionation, thin-film evaporation, solvent extraction, or air or steam stripping operation is not subject to the requirements of this article, the owner or operator shall make an initial determination that the time-weighted, annual average total organic concentration of the waste managed by the waste management unit is less than 10 ppmw using one of the following two methods:
(B) for waste generated on-site, the grab samples shall be collected at a point before the waste is exposed to the atmosphere such as in an enclosed pipe or other closed system that is used to transfer the waste after generation to the first affected distillation, fractionation, thin-film evaporation, solvent extraction, or air or steam stripping operation. For waste generated off-site, the grab samples shall be collected at the inlet to the first waste management unit that receives the waste provided the waste has been transferred to the facility in a closed system such as a truck and the waste is not diluted or mixed with other waste;
(D) the arithmetic mean of the results of the analyses of the four samples shall apply for each waste stream managed in the unit in determining the time-weighted, annual average total organic concentration of the waste. The time-weighted average shall be calculated using the annual quantity of each waste stream processed and the mean organic concentration of each waste stream managed in the unit;
(2) Using knowledge of the waste to determine that its total organic concentration is less than 10 ppmw. Documentation of the waste determination is required. Examples of documentation that shall be used to support a determination under this provision include production process information documenting that no organic compounds are used, information that the waste is generated by a process that is identical to a process at the same or another facility that has previously been demonstrated by direct measurement to generate a waste stream having a total organic content less than 10 ppmw, or prior specification analysis results on the same waste stream where it can also be documented that no process changes have occurred since that analysis that could affect the waste total organic concentration.
(f) When an owner or operator and the Department do not agree on whether a distillation, fractionation, thin-film evaporation, solvent extraction, or air or steam stripping operation manage a hazardous waste with organic concentrations of at least 10 ppmw based on knowledge of the waste, the procedures in Method 8260 of SW-846 third edition and updates, (as incorporated by reference in Section 66260.11 of this division), shall be used to resolve the dispute.
